I SEWED MY FIRST DRESS FOR ELLA!!

Yes, I have sewn lots of things before. I made all of Ella's crib bedding and I always sew baby blankets for gifts. I have never before sewn a dress for my little princess! I was so proud of my recent accomplishment that I could not wait to share the pictures with you!

She was invited to a birthday party at the American Girl store in LA. We have been wanting to go there for such a long time and I wanted it to be such a special experience that she would never forget! I decided that it would be more special to her if I made her dress, rather than purchasing one! We had such a fun time last week sewing it! Ella picked out the pattern and all the fabric.....pink....pink...pink!!She sat next to me almost the entire time it took me to make it! The end result was the happiest little girl!!
